Alternate-win cards[edit]
- "Exodia the Forbidden One": If your hand contains this card along with "Left Arm of the Forbidden One", "Right Arm of the Forbidden One", "Left Leg of the Forbidden One" and "Right Leg of the Forbidden One", you win the Duel. All five of these cards are currently Limited.
- "Destiny Board": This card can place 1 "Spirit Message" card from your hand or Deck to your side of the field at the end of each of your opponent's turns, in the order of "Spirit Message "I"", "Spirit Message "N"", "Spirit Message "A"", and "Spirit Message "L"". If "Destiny Board" and all four different "Spirit Messages" are on the field, you win the Duel. (In the manga, the "Spirit Messages" were not separate Spell Cards but rather simply spectral forms that appeared above this card. In addition, it required "Dark Necrofear" to be in the Graveyard to activate its effect.)
- "Last Turn": You must have 1000 or fewer Life Points to activate this card. When activated, you choose one monster you control, and all other cards on the field and in both players' hands are sent to the Graveyard. Your opponent then Special Summons a monster from their Deck. A special Battle Phase occurs in which the two monsters battle and battle damage is ignored. The player whose monster remains alone on the field at the End Phase of this turn wins the Duel. This card is currently Forbidden.
- "Final Countdown": This card requires a cost of 2000 Life Points to activate. 20 turns after its activation, you win the Duel. This card is currently Limited in the TCG only.
- "Vennominaga the Deity of Poisonous Snakes": This card gains a Hyper-Venom Counter each time it inflicts battle damage to your opponent. If this card has three Hyper-Venom Counters on it, you win the Duel. (In the anime, this card allowed you to win the Duel three turns after it inflicted battle damage to your opponent, with no Counters involved.)
- "Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord": This card sends 1 monster from your hand or Deck to the Graveyard each time it attacks. If five different "Forbidden One" monsters are in your Graveyard that were sent there by this card's effect, you win the Duel. (In the anime, the five "Forbidden One" monsters could be in the Graveyard by any method, not necessarily needing to be sent by this card's effect.)
- "Holactie the Creator of Light": The only way to Summon this card is by Tributing monsters whose original names are "Slifer the Sky Dragon", "Obelisk the Tormentor" and "The Winged Dragon of Ra" (meaning that you cannot use cards like "Phantom of Chaos" to copy any card names). If you successfully Summon this card, you win the Duel. The Summon of "Holactie" cannot be negated, so cards like "Solemn Warning", etc. cannot stop it.
- "Number 88: Gimmick Puppet of Leo": This card can gain a Destiny Counter once per turn by detaching one of its three Xyz Materials, but in order to do so, you must have no cards in your Spell & Trap Card Zone and must skip that turn's Battle Phase. If this card has three Destiny Counters on it, you win the Duel. (In the anime, this card could detach one of its Xyz Materials once per turn with no restrictions, and it allowed its controller to win the Duel if it detached all of its Xyz Materials by its own effect, with no Counters involved.)
- "Number C88: Gimmick Puppet Disaster Leo": Once per turn, you can detach an Xyz Material from this card to inflict 1000 damage to the opponent. During your End Phase, if this card has no Xyz Materials while the opponent has 2000 or fewer Life Points, you win the Duel. (In the anime, the damage was 4000 instead of 1000, and it allowed its controller to win the Duel if it had no Xyz Materials at the end of a turn, with no requirement on the opponent's Life Points.)
- "Creator of Miracles": By shouting "ZEXAL Field!", this card allows a "Number C39" monster you control to attack directly for one turn. If you have previously activated the effects of "Winning Formula" and "Creator of Hope" during that Duel, and if it successfully inflicts battle damage during that direct attack, you win the Duel. "Creator of Miracles", "Winning Formula", and "Creator of Hope" are all illegal to use in official Duels.
- "Jackpot 7": This card banishes itself when sent to the Graveyard by your opponent's card effect. When three "Jackpot 7" are banished by this effect, you win the Duel.
- "Don Thousand/Monster C": As a Boss Duel card equivalent to the anime version of "Number iC1000: Numeronius Numeronia" (see below), it has the same victory condition in that during your opponent's End Phase, if they did not attack this card this turn, they lose the Duel. This card is only usable by a boss during a Yu-Gi-Oh! Day Boss Duel event.
- "Ghostrick Angel of Mischief": Once per turn, you can attach a "Ghostrick" card in your hand to this card as an Xyz Material. When this card has 10 or more Xyz Materials, you win the Duel.
- "Phantasm Spiral Assault": This card allows you to target a "Phantasm Spiral Dragon" you control, and if it goes on to destroy 3 of your opponent's Effect Monsters while equipped each time with 3 or more "Phantasm Spiral" Equip Spells with different names, you win the Duel.
- "F.A. Winners": If your "F.A." monster that has increased its Level by 5 destroys a monster and inflicts battle damage to your opponent, you can banish 1 card from your hand, field or Graveyard. This card allows you to win the Duel if you banish 3 "F.A." Field Spells this way.
- "Flying Elephant": If this card avoids destruction by an opponent's card effect with its own effect, then inflicts battle damage to your opponent by a direct attack next turn, you win the Duel.
- "Exodia, the Legendary Defender": If this card Summoned by its own effect destroys a DARK Fiend monster that is owned by your opponent by battle, you win the Duel.
- "True Exodia": If the only monsters on the field are this card and 4 "Forbidden One" Normal Monsters with different names, the opponent of this card's controller wins the Duel.
- "Number iC1000: Numerounius Numerounia": If this card was Summoned by the effect of "Number C1000: Numerounius" at least one turn ago, and it is now your opponent's End Phase and they did not attack this card this turn, you win the Duel. (In the anime, there was no Summon or turn delay requirement.)
- "Musical Sumo Dice Games": If this card goes from below 7 to 7 or more Xyz Materials through its own effect, you win the Duel. Its effect is to move clockwise 1-6 spaces around the Main Monster Zones depending on the outcome of a die roll at the start of the opponent's Battle Phase, attaching anything it lands on as material.
In a video game only[edit]
- "Speed Spell - Final Countdown": As a Speed Spell version of "Final Countdown", you must remove 3 of your Speed Counters to activate this card. Then, as with the original card, after paying 2000 Life Points, you win the Duel after 20 turns have passed. Like most Speed Spell cards based on actual cards, this card exists only in the later games of the Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship series of video games, specifically only in Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's World Championship 2011: Over the Nexus.
- "Destiny Board" (Skill): This Skill can be used while "Dark Necrofear" is in your Graveyard, and your LP are at 2000 or below. At the end of your 5th turn after use, you win the Duel. This Skill is negated if "Dark Necrofear" leaves your Graveyard. This is only usable in the Speed Duel format of Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links.
- "Destiny Board of Doom" is a similar Skill used only by NPCs in Duel Links, which allows them to begin the Duel with "Dark Necrofear" in their Graveyard and win on their 5th turn.
- "Fatal Five": This Skill allows you to win the Duel if a monster attacks 5 times during one turn. This is only usable in Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links.
In the anime only[edit]
- "Draw of Fate": This card negates an opponent's attack and then has both players draw 1 card. Whoever has not used their drawn card by the End Phase loses the Duel.
Alternate-loss cards[edit]
These cards apply a victory condition to the opponent, with no way to switch it to apply to the player instead.
- "Relay Soul": This card allows you to Special Summon a monster from your hand, and prevents all damage to you while it stays face-up, but if it leaves the field, then your opponent wins the Duel. (In the anime, this card activated when the user's Life Points became 0 and prevented the user from losing, instead giving the opponent the only way to win the Duel of destroying the Special Summoned monster.)
- "Final Draw": This Skill Card gains a counter once per turn, and when it has 3 counters, it gives you the option to replace any draw you would perform with searching any card from the Deck. However, at the end of the turn in which you use this ability, you lose the Duel. Being a Skill Card, this card is only usable in the Speed Duel format.
In a video game only[edit]
- "One with the Dinos": This Skill can be used from turn 3 and onward. The player chooses a Level 7 or higher Dinosaur-type Monster they control, and that monster's ATK becomes equal to the player's Life Points. However, if that monster leaves the field, the player loses the Duel. This is only usable in Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links.
In the anime only[edit]
- "Blackwing - Decay the Ill Wind": If a Synchro Monster that used this card as a Synchro Material is destroyed, the player loses the Duel.
Trivia[edit]
- In some video games (such as the Yu-Gi-Oh! Tag Force series or Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist), successfully using an alternate victory condition causes the game to display (for example) 'You won using the effects of "Exodia the Forbidden One".' This is technically not accurate as victory conditions are not card effects (which can be negated) but rather conditions (which cannot).
- In Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel, Strong Boy Sevens Road has the effect to inflict 700 million damage to the opponent if their Life Points are 700 or less, effectively winning the duel as there is currently no way to avoid it.
- The predetermined set featuring the highest number of Duel Winner cards is Number Complete File -Piece of Memories-, with four. This is also due to the fact that three Numbers possess alternative victory conditions.
